The National Weather Service in Topeka is promising a significant warmup this weekend — and the probability of rainfall.

After a bitterly cold Thursday, the high Friday will creep above 30 degrees, rising to nearly 50 on Saturday. On Sunday, the high is expected to be in the low-60s.

There is a 30 percent chance of rain starting Saturday night, increasing to 80 percent by Sunday night before tapering Monday morning. A thunderstorm is also a possibility, the NWS said.
